I'm sorry too.  It's sad that so many people will let one --
admittedly disgusting -- poster drive them away.  Is it really so
hard to ignore his posts?

It's really something wrong about the internet that one person can
clear a longstanding "room" full of people like this.  If this were
a physical space, the rest of us would probably all still be here....

But the constant postings of hate & gibberish -- buoyed by his ally,
sadly a long time poster -- will presumably continue.  We could,
of course, still discuss music....

I wanted to support Roland's attempts to discuss music, but our
interests don't align much, so that's an issue once the group gets
to be small....
